“In what ways do you think your childhood has influenced you as an
adult?”
I came from typical Polish family where I had mother, father and one older brother. My
parents worked from morning until 4pm. Child support was maximum and I usually had
everything what I needed. My parents taught us that only hard work is essential for good
life. I learnt from my parents to work and make money honestly and save up for future.
My mother wasn’t very strict but she made me learn a lot. I remember the long evenings
spending at doing homework or reading my notebooks and student books. I usually
didn’t have enough time to go outside with my friends. All week except weekend I had to
work hardly learning . It has a good influence on my adult life. I’m studying and working
and I’m really happy doing this. Every weekend I try to spend outside like visiting my
friends, going disco or just relaxing at home by doing nothing.
My mother taught me to take care for wild, hungry animals. I remember that she never
threw old bread away and she kept it in the special bag. Every weekend we were going
to park to feed needy birds. Ones in the freezing and snowing winter we found cats
mother with 3 kittens. They were wild but so hungry that they let us to take them. I was
very happy to can look after them. They settled in very quickly and we had 4 domestic
cats. This experience learnt me to care for animals. I used to feed animals so I often go
to park which In Glasgow we have many and enjoy giving them food.
I think that childhood has an enormous influence on adult life. We copy our parents
behavior even If we don’t know about that. It’s very important to give our children a good
and suitable example because it wil have an impact on theirs adult life.
